bags are preferable to cloth, as they afford
better protection against moisture and
insects. Always mark each package with
the name of the seed contained in it, and
the year in which it grew. Cold does not
injurc the vitality of seeds, but moisture
is detrimental to all kinds.
Melon, cucumber, squash and pumpkin
seeds should be taken only from ripe, per-
feet shaped specimens. In n small way
the seeds may be simply taken out, spread
ON plates or tins and dried. Larger guam
titles have to be washed before drying, to
remove the slime that adheres to them.
| When the seeds are thoroughly dried, tie
them in bags, and keep in Il dry place
secure from mice or rats.
Bcets, parsnips. turnips, carrots, onions,
caulitlowcr and cabbage will not produce
seed until the second year. Set out in

FIG. s.-pARBED WIRE ON TREES.

FIG, 2.-DARBED WIRE ON TREES.
But, says the authority quoted from, if
stones arc not to be had and the trees are
not further apart than the length of fence
boards, the fence may be rendered visible
by mailing a board between the two upper
wires, as shown in Fig. 2. There is still
another way to prevent harm to animals
which run in adjacent fields. This is to
cut or plow u small open ditch on each
side and raise a bank of earth between
them and under the line of the fence.
But this cannot be adopted for trees, as
the roots will prevent the blowing OF the
burrows. When posts are setit is an easy
and efficient way to protect animals, as
they are held in check by the bitches and
the bank of earth; and it obviates the use
of the lower Wire, and the posts being
held by the bank need not be set so deep.
When it is desired to run Il barbed fence
through woods or other plantation where
the trees are not in n straight line care
must be taken to have each tree stand i'll
the obtusc angle which it forms, the Wire
being always placed on the outside where
it will be firmly held i'll position.
The great convenience II economy OF
using growing trees instead of posts is ali
additional induccmcnt for planting mar
row timber belts at the boundaries of the
nrincinal folds.

management of Geese.

Geese are far harder and much easier
to rear than turkeys, and, if fat, bring al
ways II good price in the market. In II
word, these fowls pay very well indeed
for keeping, and the farmcr will, as II
rule, find it worth his willie to have n few
of them in the autumn when his grain
crops are off the land.
OF the various breeds of geese the Tou-
louise is The best known, and with the
Emblem, are the chief ones for CONNER
cial purposes. The Toulouse is also called
the gray goose, because its plumage is of
that color, while the Embden is called the
white goose, its plumagc being white
throughout. Notwithstanding the fact
that the feathers of Emblem geese bring u
higher price than do those of the 1'ou-
louise, the latter, as has been intimatcd, is
the more popular breed. The Toulouse
are good layers and their flesh is tender,
juicy and well favored. They often reach
an enormous weight. Their heavy bodies
fit them for close coping and they are
easily confined by u low fence and will
thrive on less water than other Varieties
of geese.

NATIVES OF THE NORTH.
Tremendous Appctitcs OF the Inhabitants
of the Arctic Regions.

of the Arctic Regions.
When we were at JOIN Rowland bay, a
month ago, on the Arctic coast, | WAS visit

scraping off the pieces of the gum alhcring
to the butt ends of the whalebonc. The ma
tives stood 10y, and us the long s~lavings were

uginc a rotten raw peanut to be. For n
| steady diet, / should hesitate between that
and faith, but the natives all evidently rel
ishcl it exceedingly, and they chewed by the
hour, us Il schoolgirl would a pieceof gum.
The greatest feast l have seen the natives
have was about two weeks ago, when several
whalers were lying ut anchor under East cape,
on the Asiatic shore. a whale was raised at
the southwark, working rapidly up along tho
shore. Twenty-Five or thirty whale boats
were Immediately lowered, and the gauntlet
was too much for the whale. He was soon
captured and alongside the Lucretia to be
cut i'll. Seven canoe loads of natives came
off to claim their share of the whale, which
custom has defined as the fins, tluke 1.-THE

was most amusing. Work was begun ahou
s o'rlock and finished soon after midnight
but the sun set only to rise i'll an hour or two
so it was daylight all the time. The officer
of the slip were giving their orders, til
donkey engine was putting away turning til

log chains. Twenty or thirty natives wer
yelling like f'ends. Huge sheets of blubbe
were being hauled in at the gangway.
Everything was excitement and noise. Tl2

pyrethrum Insect Powder.

Powdered pyrethrum, sold under vari-
Gus names, as buhach, Persian insect
powder, Dalmatian insect powder. ETC.,
has the past few seasons grown steadily in
favor as an insecticidc in farm and gar
den. 1t has, in a word, assumed sufficient
importance to cntitle it to a familiar ac-
quaintance with every farmer and every
housewife. Some confusion exists owing
to the number of names by which pyrc-
thrum is introduced i'll our markets. That
grown in the United States, notably in
California, is sold under the name OF bu-
bach. Th imported powder, Pyrethrum
roseum. is grown in the region south of
the Caucasus mountains, and is known in
ns Persian insect powder, while
that grown in Dalmatia is termed Dalma-
tian powder.
Pyrethrum is not poisonous to higher
animals, hence its present popularity
among those who dislike to handle such
poisons rs London purple and Paris green.
While not a poison to man and beast,
pyrcthrum has proven Il valuable remedy
for many farm and household pests. Its
active principle is a volatile oil which acts
on the nervous system of the insect. The
powder should be kept dry and stored i'll
closed packages until required for use.
It is employed both dry and in solu-
tions. At the Ohio Experiment Station
the best results have been gained With the
dry powder diluted not more than tive
times with flour, finely slaked lime or
other finely powdered substances. AT this
station the powder is thoroughly mixed
with the dilutent and allowed to stand for
twenty-four hours in n closed vessel before
using to gain the best results. 1t is ap
piled with q good hand bellows. From
the experience ut this station it is believed
that pyrethrum will be found most benc
fetal for smooth bodied caterpillars, sucl
as cabbage worms and others like them
On the woolly catcrpillars it had little o
no effect and did not prove Il sure remcd..
for beetles.
On the experimental grounds OF III
Rural New Yorker, where preference j
given to the California buhach, successful
results havc been obtained by using tn
buhach in solution. Mr.. Carman, VIII
made the experiments, insists upon tn
use of a hand force pump and the cyclon
nozzle for best effects.
With the above solution applied rs her
stated, he has been able to destroy tn
rose bugs, which were present in larg
numbers this season on his farm. Tn
economy of the use of pyre,hrum or bu
bach, in Mr.. Carman's opinion, depend
upon its application rs q fine spray o
Sapor, when tile same quantity of waite
will go fifty times rs far as if sprinkle
on the plants. while the time required t
do the work will be perhaps twent
times less. AT the Ohio station the pow
der is applied through q bellows. Or
pound of pyrefhrum diluted with otht
powdered substance three to five tim,
was found abundant to dust an acre

FIG. BARRED WIRE ON TREES

The accompanying figures represent u
mode which has been successfully adopted
for using growing trees as posts for the
support of barbc,l Wire fences and recon-
mended by The Country Gentleman.
The usual objections TO barbed Wire on
trees in this mode arc obviatad, as will be
seen in the cut, by placing IL narrow board
or plank against the face of the tree, sc
curing it with two or three nails. and
then fastening the wires to this board, as
shown in the figures. A board or plank
three or four inches wide nswcr the
purpose, and it may be pine or cedar. If
the trees to which the wire is fastened
are in n line where there is no danger of
animals becoming injured with the barbs,
four wires will make IL good and durable
barrier. But if injury is feared from the
wire to cattle and horses, a visible OBJ
struction must be provided, such rs 4
